We love making appetizers for our party celebrations. This recipe was one that we tried this past Christmas and my husband absolutely loves it. Very simple to make.
You will need:
- jar of refrigerated whole kosher dill pickles
- 1 pkg of cream cheese
- 1 pkg of ham lunch meat, look for the rectangle shaped one. It makes rolling easier.
Pat dry your pickles and wipe on the cream cheese. I say that lightly, it is hard to spread cream cheese onto a pickle. We actually ended up laying out the piece of ham and putting a big blob of cream cheese onto it, and then rolled the pickle up in it. Wasn’t very proper but it did the job. I then placed them on a plate, covered them, and put them in the refrigerator overnight. The next day I took them out and sliced them up into chunks. This makes a whole lot of appetizers especially for a large family.
We make something similar. We use tortillas and spread cream cheese on them. Then chop the ham up and sprinkle it. Lay a pickle spear on tortilla or if short on pickles chop it to sprinkle. Then roll up. Chill and slice.
Yes , much easier;)
We put our cream cheese on a flour tortilla, then the ham ,then the pickle and roll it up. Then slice. Works pretty well..
